I'm really worried about my mom. She's had these enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes for two years now. There are no signs of TB like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, and she's been managing her diabetes pretty well. There was nothing in the lymph nodes when tested for CBNAAT. The ultrasound showed they're quite large, and the biopsy results indicated granulomatous lymphadenitis. The document says TB needs to be ruled out, and the AFB stain came back negative. They also mentioned something about doing a TBPCR test to make sure it's not tuberculosis. The microscopic findings talked about some kind of granulomas but no caseous necrosis was found. TB PCR didn't show any sign of MTB or non-TB mycobacteria. I'm quite confused and worried about what all this means. Is this something serious? What should we do next?

I have pancreatic cancer and I'm really confused about the best treatment option for me. Some doctors recommend stenting, others suggest chemotherapy alone, and a few have mentioned Whipple surgery. I'm in Mumbai right now and would appreciate your advice on what would be the most suitable approach for my condition. I'm happy to pay the consultation fees once I hear back from you.

The best treatment for pancreatic cancer depends on several factors, including the stage of the cancer, its location, and your overall health. While surgery is the only potentially curative treatment for pancreatic cancer, it's only an option for a small percentage of patients. If surgery isn't possible, chemotherapy, radiation, and/or palliative care may be used to manage the cancer and improve quality of life

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with these lymph nodes in her supraclavicular area for two years now. They looked small at first, but an ultrasound showed two of them measuring 107 mm and 176 mm. She's also been diabetic for over two years, but her sugar is well-controlled with medication. There's no fever, sweating, or tirednessshe actually feels fine otherwise. What could this mean? What are the chances its something serious? I'm really looking for some guidance on what might be going on.
